-"Just one of the more egregious gifts. Stratomatic has a long history of favoring some players with range factors that do not properly align with their skill set."

It's ok to mention Derek Jeter by name

Why does anyone think this game is like real baseball. It is a board game where even though you can run the numbers to beat the odds you are just like everyone else at the craps table in Vegas. They are all having fun even when they are losing. Just have fun and try not to change the rules of life to fit your needs, it wont fit mine or anyone else. Just food for thought in the Country we live in now.

Bingo.
Countless examples of why Strat is Strat; a simulation based upon 1 season of ball...sometimes tweaked a bit.

Say what you want, there's no way Carlos Correa's range for the 2020 season is even in the top 50 all time.

Hell he's not even in the top 10 for last season.


It is completely different than a hitter doing well over 60 at bats because at least the hitter really earned those numbers.

If you can't understand the difference nor see the problem, there's not much help for your reasoning skills.

And to say, "well there's other realism problems so just ignore this one",.. is just plain ignorant and lazy.

Um, YES, EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT, unless you're an imbecile. Carlos Correa isn't even in the top ten for 2020, let alone of all time.

It's like the difference between chocolate ice cream and horse manure.

Based on what? On your impressions? Provide some evidence, please. I know that seems to be a bit of an old-fashioned requirement...but I still find it helpful. Evidence can be statistical. Or if you watch him a lot and assuming you have some ability to analyze and differenciate him from other shortstops then that could be evidence. Or maybe if you are able to find opinions from a number of scouts. Right now, youre asserting the same thing over and over again without supporting it.

Umm.... what? Strat put's range in 5 buckets. he doesn't have to be top 50 range of all time, he just needs to be in that bucket for one season. It's meant to reproduce the season if replayed, not to be instantly stuck in the ATG game.

I'm not sure you understand the basics of the game?
